      I am sure that our owners, and by extension United and Liverpool’s, would grab the opportunity to start a Super League. So if Chelsea and City are struck with punishment and they decide to break away, there could be a convincing argument for the others to leave too.

      However, having said that, Liverpool, United and Arsenal are the biggest draws in the PL. If City and Chelsea leave, it would be a manageable loss. But the other three would definitely mean a bigger drop. So if any of the three feel aggrieved and band together to put the biggest punishment on City and Chelsea, the league will follow.

        City are making enough money, they don’t need the Super League. I don’t think that UAE views the club as an investment, more like an opportunity to cleanse their image.

        None of these clubs can leave. The last time they tried, fans rioted and shut down the matches. The prime minister and the opposition were united on wanting to prevent a super league.

        That was a fuck around and fund out moment for the red tops. They pulled out in time before the government stepped in. Next time they’ll be made examples. They’ll be put under a government regulatory body and their power to self regulate will be gone.

        This isn’t America where there is a constitution. Parliament can force liquidations like they did with Roman. The American owners will behave or they’ll be sent packing.

          Boris Johnson privately supported the Super League. He only came out and denounced it because the public (fans) came out completely against it. Johnson is a two faced cunt who does what is best for him. His “support” means nothing.

            Johnson is gone. Rishi Sunak is in desperate need of a political victory. And his likely successor is a Labour PM. The Super League isn’t happening. Every PM will be jostling to be the “Man who saved English football”. It’s over.

      Of you, to not understand that SL almost becoming a thing was partially because of your club and the leagues unwillingness to deal with you.
